Restricted Keys & Access Controls

Restricted Master Key Systems

Many businesses large and small employ a number of staff who will require access to different areas of their workplace without restricting them from going about their job. This will entail them holding a key to access these certain areas. At Amalgamated Locksmiths we tailor a system where as each member of your team can go to certain areas he/she Is supposed to, but restricting them from going to areas where they are not authorised to enter. This can all be done by use of only one key per employee. In addition to this we can have a master key working all doors so as your supervisor can gain uninterrupted access. This Is what Is known as master-keying.

After designing a system to suit your business you then want to be sure that you have complete control over all of the keys you Issue. If you use a standard household key your employee can quite easily have keys duplicated off his copy, therefore jeopardising the security of your workplace as these keys can be handed out among friends ete.

To control this Amalgamated Locksmiths can Install your master key system In a restricted form which basically means that duplication of your keys can not proceed without a letter of consent coming from yourself or chosen members of your team. All our restricted master keys systems are computer generated and maintained so as we have a complete history of when the Installation took place and how many keys are Issued and who at that date they were ordered.

At Amalgamated Locksmiths we have over 3000 restricted master key systems In use today with many large corporations and companies heading up our banner so If you have a company or business and your looking to go that extra step with security within your firm then give Amalgamated Locksmiths a call and one of the friendly staff will help you with enquires you may have.

Lockwood MT5 Keying System

The new concept - three mechanisms for more security

To guarantee the technical key security of a mechanical locking system it is necessary to select a system that is protected by key patents and also offers a high technical key copy protection. The new MT5 locking system from Lockwood will achieve both of these.

Lockwood MT5 provides the highest possible level of protection against illegal key duplication via the revolutionary Alpha spring. In addition every Lockwood MT5 key will be covered by patent protection well into the future.

There are two levels of security, the base level is the MT5 cylinder that uses a telescopic pin and alpha spring for restricted security. MT5+ builds on this by adding a locking bar for optimum security and high level master keying capabilities.

1. Alpha spring

At the tip of the key is a revolutionary mobile interacting spring - the alpha spring. The alpha spring engages a unique pin at the rear of the cylinder mechanism creating another shearline.

2. Telescopic pin

This new-generation product is also based on a new configuration telescopic pin technology.

3. Locking bar

The locking bar mechanism is the third technology featured in the MT5+ cylinder. Correct alignment of the locking bar pins depends upon the correct combination key being inserted into the cylinder. The milled pattern which runs along the length of the key interacts with the top bar horizontal pins, creating the required shearline.

With Lockwood MT5 originals are hard to copy

All MT5 products have a double-sided unique MT5 key. One set of cuts are for the telescopic pin mechanism and the other cut, the milled pattern, is for the locking bar in MT5+ products. The MT5+ combination provides enhanced key security and a higher manipulation resistance.

Access Control

Premises and personnel management has become a complex issue and the ability to react instantly in order to retain control over whom and when access is gained is imperative, particularly for multi-user buildings and open access institutions.

The solution is the installation of an access control system capable of reading all types of card or token technology to accommodate the specific requirements of individual clients. Our Systems offer Proximity Tokens and Cards, Touch Disk Tokens, Bio-metric Recognition, Smart Card or simple Digital Keypad and it should be noted that several different technologies can be incorporated into the same system.

Access control systems installed by Amalgamated Locksmiths can range from a single door control system, with the potential to expand without redundancy to a multiple site computer based solution, operated with Microsoft Windows™ approved software. This modular approach offers additional features including; Photo ID Card printing, Remote Site Modem link, Alarm Monitoring, Visitor Administration, Cashless Credit & Debiting and Roll Call/Time & Attendance
Finally, due consideration must be given to the integration with Fire Alarms, CCTV systems and to the locks and mundane but essential door hardware that the system will be expected to control. These issues are so often overlooked in the rush to get the electronics and software installed. Impartial advice on the system and most suitable card or token technology to meet your needs is available from Amalgamated Locksmiths.

Electronic Deadlatch

For 30 years Lockwood's iconic 001 has been securing homes in Australia. The 001 as we know it today has now become digital. As with the original product, the 001TOUCH™ uses the 001 Deadlatch to secure the door internally however, the external cylinder has been replaced with a stylish digital touch screen keypad. The ability to use a pin code or key card offers a convenient keyless solution.

Key Features

Touch screen Keypad

The touch screen keypad has no mechanical buttons which means no trace of your secret pin code.

4-12 Digit pin code

Choose a pin code from 4 - 12 digits, this could be ideal for children or occupants that loose keys on a regular basis.

Key Cards

Program up to 20 Key cards into your lock and have the ability to remove them individually.

Tested in accordance with AS4145.2-2008

The 001TOUCH has been tested in accordance with the Australian lock standard.

Secure Mode

You have the option to lock the 001TOUCH with the internal key, the key card and pin number automatically unlocks upon entry. This safety release function minimises the chance being locked inside your house.

Low power consumption

Unlock your door up to 10,000 times with one set of 4 x AA batteries. We recommend the batteries are changed every 12 months regardless.

Outdoor weather resistant keypad

The Keypad is designed to withstand most weather conditions.

Master code

You will have the ability as a master to add and delete users.

User code that expires

You have the ability to program a code that may last from 3 - 366 hours. This is ideal when a tradesman requires access to your house for a few hours or when your neighbour is looking after your home for up to two weeks.

Cryptic code function

Prevent others from identifying your pin code during access, the cryptic code function confuses the onlooker but at the same time allows you to still gain entry.

User codes and setting remain if batteries are removed

The settings, codes and key cards will remain programmed in the lock in the event the batteries are depleted.

Automatic Locking

Once the correct code or key card is presented, the lock will remain unlocked for 5 seconds and will lock automatically when the 5 seconds expire.

Visual guide for programming

For added convenience, a light guide will assist in the programming of some key features. (Refer installation guide)
